Coffee Stain on Marble Countertop

QUESTION:

Our coffee machine leaked coffee on our white honed marble countertop. It is a big brown blotch that won't come out with soap and water. I'm not sure how long the stain was there before I discovered it since it was hidden by the machine. Any suggestions on how to remove it?

ANSWER:

Honed marble is more prone to staining than polished marble, but polished marble in the kitchen is no good.

If you get to a marble stain right away, you can clean it with a good spray safe for cleaning marble, but once it absorbs topical cleaners can't get to it and you'll have to use a special procedure to get the stain out.

Good news is that you most likely will be able to get it all out, but you may have to repeat the process a few times.

You'll find complete step-by-step instructions in the Removing Stains Guide.

Good Luck,
Ryan
